For n > 2, decimals given by base 2 pattern: 101...zeros...101.

The ratio between a(n) and a(n+1) tends to 1/2.

Sum(1/a(i), i=0..infinity) = ( psi_2^(0)( 1 - i*Pi/log(2) ) + i*Pi ) / log(32) = 0.252899956069688841838263949451..., where psi_q^(m)(.) is the m-th derivative of the q-digamma function. [Bruno Berselli, Nov 15 2013]
